ESPN’s SP+ published its final score predictions for every Week 7 college football game, including all 7 SEC contests.
Here’s a look at SP+’s predicted score for every SEC game in Week 7:
- Texas 33, Oklahoma 19
- Ole Miss 34, LSU 28
- Tennessee 34, Florida 23
- Kentucky 35, Vanderbilt 21
- Missouri 42, Massachusetts 11
- Alabama 37, South Carolina 18
- Georgia 43, Mississippi State 13
Obviously, the prediction that sticks out in Week 7 is the Red River Rivalry, which for the 1st time is an SEC rivalry. Texas is once again the top-ranked team in the country after Alabama’s loss to Vanderbilt, and the Longhorns will look to keep it that way against their old rivals from Oklahoma. The matchup, as usual, will be a neutral-site showdown in Dallas.
Meanwhile, No. 9 Ole Miss will try to keep its momentum going when it ventures to Death Valley to face resurgent No. 13 LSU, which has won 4 in a row since a season-opening loss to USC.
Alabama, which fell all the way to No. 7 after the stunning loss at Vandy, will try to pick up the pieces when it hosts South Carolina.
And one of the grandest rivalries of the SEC will be staged at night in Knoxville, where No. 8 Tennessee hopes to bounce back from its loss at Arkansas when it hosts Florida.
